LCMC

The Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is aligned with the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ(LCMC).

LCMC has a great respect for the reality that the church is where the people of God gather together around Word and Sacrament. The local congregation is where the church becomes a concrete reality for God's people.

At the same time the LCMC is joyously aware that each congregation is a part of the greater body of Christ. The actions of each congregation within our association reflect on our association as a whole. And the actions of our association reflect on the whole body of Christ. For this reason we have committed ourselves to a common set of ministry standards.

Congregations have significant latitude in ordering and shaping ministry in their local setting, and the LCMC intentionally has made joining and leaving the association simple. They also agreed to a disciplinary process for addressing congregations whose actions violate our agreed-upon statements of faith and practice.
